PART 3 - TELLING MY SON : Telling your Teen that you are ending your marriage

When you take steps to end your marriage, there is a brief sense of freedom, followed by the sad awareness that your children will need to know and eventually your friends, family and your immediate world. My seemingly private relationship with my husband, was becoming public, just as things were being figured out and becoming undone. My reasons, decisions and plans were now subject to other people's dissection. A way for them to make sense of things and where they fit in. When my son started to ask questions, I had to accept that this was part of the process. It was difficult knowing his life was going to be impacted by my decision. Through coming clean, I found his acceptance and it made me whole.
